Austin Wells Homers and Walks in Yankees' Loss to Dodgers on Friday

Wells' recent performance adds a bright spot to his challenging season at the plate. With a .206 batting average, the numbers show he struggles for consistency. However, over the last three games, he is finding his stride with a .278 average and a notable 1.061 OPS.

In road games, he marginally ups his average to .190, hinting at some stability away from Yankee Stadium. His homer against the Dodgers marked his ninth of the season, tying his total from road and home games. Wells continues to balance power with patience, as seen in his walk rate.
